Photographer's Note

This photo is takes in Alexander Gardens outside the Kremlin in Moscow during the changing of the guard for the tomb of the unknown soldier. At this time I only had my Canon G11 on hand and getting the timing of the photo was a bit challenging because of the auto focus took too much time figuring out what it wanted to do with the moving subject. Anyways, this photo is a glimpse into the respect and celebration this rich culture has for its' writers, composers, political figures, Tsars and in this case its' fallen soldiers that are commemorated all over the country.

Hi Philip
here I like the contrast between the static soldier in his sentry box and the 2 others very active in the way they walk. Shot exactly at the right time so that there is no interference
have a nice WE
All the best

Hello Philip,
The timing was perfect and you captured here a great moment. Good contrast between the two guards steping out with closed fists and the "little" shrimp looking one standing to attention. The red brick wall provides a nice background that makes the uniforms stand out and reminds of the former Red Army. Well done.
Kind regards,
Christian

Congratulations for being a new member of TE!
A good report, well framed and taken at the decisive moment. I would have cropped a little bit the left part. Also I noticed that the baionet are cut.
Cheers
